This week we are learning:

Math: This week students will be looking more deeply into graphing. We went over graphing at the beginning of the school year. As we revisit, we will be paying close attentions to the data that we collect and have a strong understanding of why and when we use graphs in real life. Students should be able to explain the length of a bar in a bar graph or the number of pictures in a pictograph represents the number of data points for a given category. They will be able to organize a collection of data with up to four categories using pictographs with intervals of one or more. Students will be taking a Graphing Quiz on Thursday after having many opportunities to explore graphs such as scoots around the room. If time permits, students will also be going to review stations to continue to work on previous taught skills such as place value and adding and subtracting throughout the week.

Science: Students will continue to look closely at matter this week in science. This week students will be classifying matter by physical properties including shape, mass, temperature, flexibility, as well as determine the state of matter. (Solid, Liquid, Gas) Students will have a Kahoot review in class and will have a cumulative test over Matter this week.

Reading: We are beginning our new fiction series unit. Students will be learning about character relationships, feelings, behaviors, and motivations across a chapter book series.

They must also be able to keep track of these bird tracks. Students can earn bird tracks for making good choices at school and for being organized. Once they turn their 100 golden bird tracks into their teachers they will gain access to the teacher talent show!! If they do not earn enough for the talent show- that's ok! They can still spend their bird tracks at the bird track store.

Ask your child how many bird tracks they have??
Ask them how many they still need to get to 100??

What We Are Learning This Week

Math: This week in math we will be looking closely at when to add and subtract when given word problems. They will be actively moving around the classroom answering questions with peers. In addition to working with peers, students will be assessed individually on their ability of using the UPS model (shown below), as well as, adding and subtracting. Below is an example of what is expected of the kids when they are given a word problem.

Science: We will be looking closely at the physical properties of Matter and how they can change. Students will have an interactive lab this week where they will get to make pancakes in the lab to see this change in a real life scenario.

Reading: Main Idea and supporting details, and introducing summarizing a Nonfiction text.

Writing: Students will be writing their own topic for"All About Books".

Study Sight Words(Assessment 4) Test November 30th

www.tinyurl.com/kisdsightwords

This week we are learning:

Math: This week students will be decomposing numbers to help them solve subtraction problems.

For example, 32-31 is 30+2 and 30+1 so 30-30 is 0 and 2-1 is 1 so the difference is 1. They will be using manipulatives at first when decomposing and then will move ahead without them by mid-week. Students will be doing a great deal of problem solving this week with both addition and subtraction and will be able to to use any strategy that they choose including the original algorithm which will be taught this week. Students will also be going to review stations to continue to work on previous taught skills such as place value and adding using an open number line.

Science: This week students will be classifying matter by physical properties including shape, mass, temperature, flexibility, as well as determine the state of matter. (Solid, Liquid, Gas) Students will be actively involved in a lab this week where they will be able to compare changes in materials caused by heating and cooling. This whole week will be dedicated to the different changes that can be made to matter.

Reading: Students will be learning about main idea and supporting details in Non Fiction

Writing: Students will be brainstorming ideas and start drafting for their next All About Book (self-selected topic). 

Social Studies: Students will be learning about the responsibilities of a President, Governor and Mayor

Study Sight Words(Assessment 4) Test November 30th

www.tinyurl.com/kisdsightwords

This week we are learning:

Math: This week students will be decomposing numbers to help them solve addition problems.

For example, 32+31 is 30+2 and 30+1 so 30+30 is 60 and 2+1 is 3 so the sum is 63. They will be using manipulatives at first when decomposing and then will move ahead without them by mid-week.   Students will also be going to review stations to continue to work on previous taught skills such as place value and adding using an open number line.

Science: This week students will be classifying matter by physical properties including shape, mass, temperature, flexibility, as well as determine the state of matter. (Solid, Liquid, Gas) Students will be actively involved in a lab this week where they will be able to compare changes in materials caused by heating and cooling. They will have a test over Matter on Thursday. We will be reviewing in class for the test on Wednesday.

Reading: Main Idea and Supporting details

Writing: informational writing in "All About" books.
